And over the course of the two hours, we can go down any and every rabbit hole. So buckle up and plan accordingly because we don't know, we don't know where we're going to go today. but I'll start with this. I would be remiss if I did not start this show in gratitude. In absolute gratitude, grace and appreciation for being here, for being here, for being here in this space and being around with y'all to talk ball, talk life,

talk Lincoln, talk Nebraska, to talk sports. Today is, I rename the days as episodes because each one's different. And each one has a different message and a different theme and different frictions that you go through and then different lessons that you learn throughout it. And for me, this is episode number 23,011. 23,011 days since I was born. and I keep track of them because I want to I want them to all matter and have their own leverage. And as most of you know, there were times when I wasn't promised being here today. So I better say thank you because there was a day in ICU and days following that I asked for one more day.

Just give me one more day. And I'll be a better version and I'll try to do something good. and those one more days led to today. And I opened my eyes this morning and I took a deep breath and Bach. It was like, oh, okay, sir. 23,11 days and 63 years. Now, brough, 63. Six three, bro.

I, like, normally I will shave twice a week. I usually try to be on parrower twice a week. And then there's a day this weekend where you normally the chin gets a shave. But I looked at it and I went, because there's a time when I let my chin grow. Now, I can't grow a beard. It's just got DNA. I wasn't gifted with the bot beard blessing, right? Like I can't do it.

As a matter of fact, I can't even grow a mustache. Oh, like I grow tumbleweeds where these sparse bits of hair grow above my lip in different places in different directions with no real purpose. It's like they've never met each other. It is, it is the saddest mustache in the history of mankind because it is, Bach, it is like, it is like. 14 individual hairs at a high school dance who are all introverts and really don't want to engage one another. Like they don't want to do anything together. And so you just go, okay, let me just, let me just shave it.

On the chin, it, it has a plan and it looks uniform like, hey, we're, we're kind of a squad. now it's never going to grow like I can't grow the Vreshawn full go-cheet thing like I can't do that and then on my on my on my on my cheeks and cyber it's really just again

random tumbleweeds that appear and disappear so but I was I was looking at it and I was like okay just for today I'll leave the gray like I'll just leave the gray on my whatever's on my chin this is what I'll leave it

three days worth Yeah, like it was And then I walk in and you see Bach And Bach is like fully Fully like beard man. Yeah, I'm growing it out a little bit. Right. Like but I don't and then there are times when I'm like,

man, I'm really glad I don't have to deal with that. But then there are days when I'm like, no, for like two days a year, I would like to have a beer. Like I would like to. Like I would like that. And I'm, I'm that way. Like,

I don't have hair on my arm. Like, I'm not that dude. My teammates used to laugh because we'd get taped. And the big issue with getting taped back in the day was the tape would sometimes stick to the hair. But again, like I had random hair, arbitrary hair on my legs and arms,

right? But I don't have that full on, hey, I need to protect myself because, uh, this is this is going to hurt so at 63 i still like it never changed it never changed and i'm like okay now figured out something else box um i can tell you that i'm also still not fully grown up because my feet are still growing hmm my feet are still growing and the doctor was like yeah uh

that's a thing what do you what do you mean what do you mean my feet are still growing at 60 I need to know what size shoes I wear. Like I didn't What are you What are you doing? You freak? Like So I don't get like I don't have

I don't have I think I have 17 chest hair Which Bach Which Bach has like on one wrist. Yes. Very blessed with hair if you would call it that. Which I mean is that the thing? Would you rather have it or not have it? Like what is what is it for you? I'd rather not have it. It's uh my got the exact opposite

problem is that it's it's overgrowing everywhere. So wolf man issues is that what we're talking about? Yeah. Except for my head, which I was planning on growing my hair out one more time. And then this week I gave up just because it was becoming a science experiment up there. Well, but I mean you because you had the long lot. Yeah, I used to. Right. So can you still grow the long locks? I don't think. so I think I could I could I if I really dedicated myself I think I could grow slower grow some some long hair but there's there's beginning to be some receding hair lines and balding spots so it wouldn't look as good as used to yeah but I think your long hair like the the the the long in the back would kind of transcend whatever balding whatever receiving is happening I think the long hair right

because I mean Seth Rollins has a bit of that and I think I could see see that in you that if because like it's pulling back a little bit like every now and then he like he'll in the middle of a match he'll pull it back and you're going hey hey young fella that's happening for you what does your what does your wife think what does your wife think i mean she wouldn't mind me growing my hair i just i it's my own problem is i just can't do it if everything's not like uniform and doesn't look it's not like the same length i get frustrated with it so it's problem. I look in a mirror and touch my hair every day. So it just gets into my own thing where I can't grow it out

because I get frustrated with it. Is it shedding? No, no. Do you have that? Do you get the full like drain clot of a Bach hair or no? Absolutely not. I appreciate it because I've had a roommate before that did and every shower was just like, man. Yikes. Yikes. Yeah. No, I listen, the beauty of not having having that in your space is a glorious thing. When did you decide to go bald? Or did you have a decision, I guess?

So, no, I, so I have, I have my original hair line. And I don't have a balding, to my knowledge, I don't have a balding. I'm pretty sure I do because, I mean, I've worn baseball caps my whole life. So I would figure at some point, the sun is just like, look, man, we're trying to, we're trying to fight for access to your scalp. But literally in 1995, I was still, I was rocking the thing. right so I had to say and then I went to Charlotte to do to work for the Panthers Carolina Panthers and they needed me to do they wanted me take over this TV show

they want to put this TV show project together and my my roommate bis slash business partner CJ and I should probably call him today he's already texted um he was like hey and this was the Jordan bald era yeah this was the Michael Jordan bald player and then Chris Weber and the Fab 5 and so he was like one day and again

all the great terrible ideas that happen in our adult lives are you know what we should do like when your best friend says you know it'll be a good idea it's rarely a good idea some calamity is about to happen and we in my

in my house he set up a chair and got shaving cream and said, let me shave it. And I'm, okay, like I'm trying to be a personality, like a TV personality. So, okay, okay, go ahead. So he shaved it for the very first time in 1995, and the very first Carolina Panthers TV show, we did. Was literally the first time that I had a shaved head.

And I didn't know, I didn't know what to do. Like, I didn't know what you're supposed to do, like how to take care of it. I didn't know. So my roommate at the time, white dude, who has long hair. So he has no idea what this is supposed to be. So how do you treat it after you shave it? Do you just let it sit there? And you think, no, you're supposed to do something with it.

And he comes up to the idea. You know, you know what I think would be a good idea? Again, not a good idea. Was, hey, to put lotion on it. Okay, yeah. No. No. No, don't do that.

Don't do that. What you're supposed to do is, you know, aftershake. Yeah. you put lotion on open pores that have been irritated and agitated, you're going to get hair bumps. And for three days, I had the worst hair bumps any man could ever imagine. And I was like, okay, let's not do it. So then you let the bumps heal so that you could shave it again

because it starts to stub and grow back. And then when I had my ICU visit, because I was clotting, I couldn't shake. And so I had to let my hair grow. And it started to, like, you just, I was like, because you don't want to cut and then clot up or create issue. So I let it grow. And I start seeing the salt and pepper. And salt and pepper was real.

But it was still full. I think if I let it grow, I would have the Frederick Douglass afro. Nice. I would have what Jay Foreman currently has. Yeah, yeah. Although I think Jay has. better. He has thicker hair than I do. I would, my hair was thin, even my Afro days. I had thin hair. I just had a lot of it. And it would fluff up and it would blow. Like mine,

my Afro would blow in the wind. Jay's probably wouldn't. Jay's was like Jay carries it now. More volume. Right. It's the thing. But I at least saw what it would look like. And at some point, At some point, I will go back to let it and just let it grow. I don't know when that'll be. I don't know. I would have bet somewhere around 60. But, you know, to kind of feel your age, to represent your age, right? Yeah.

Eric, his, Eric, Lord, please let it grow, D.P. There are people that have said, you know what, we'll, we'll, you should do a fundraiser and let it grow. Like, how many days will you let it grow? And then we'll have people make donations based on, you know, how many days you let it grow and to see how long. Now, here's the thing about letting it grow for you, for you, you unmelonated folks, that for the afro to grow,

you have to treat it in a way. There's a certain way you have to treat it. That means I need somebody here who could braid Afro. I need somebody that can corner them. And I need access. to them on a pretty regular basis. Like when I was a kid, when I was in high school, I had the good afro, right?

But I had, my sisters were there to braid cornrow, my hair. And then I would comb it out, right? But before I went to sleep, it would get braided every night. And then I would comb it out for school. Then I stopped combing it out and I just wore the braids until my high school coach was like, no, we're not doing course. phone rolls, bro. And I, you know, I look back at it. I was like, yeah, you were kind of a jerk. Like, let me wear my corn rolls. But, um, but then it was also because the effort was so big that

the helmet wouldn't always. And then for baseball, my hat always flew off because it was kind of big McBrideish, right? Well, the big Afro. And so you just made choices. And I got to college and I cut it down a little bit, um, you know, a little bit. Uh, but yeah, it, I could, it would be salt and pepper. And there are people, there are people who love that. I don't know whether, what,

Bach, does your haircut, is your haircut regulated and determined by your wife's opinion of it? Does she tell you what she prefers? She wills from time to time, but for the most part, it's up to me. Right?

Right. I mean, but if she didn't like you, like if you decide, you know what, I'm going to, I'm going to go fade, right?

with the beard. Like I'm going to, I'm going to make it cultural. Would she be okay with it or would she tell you, no, I think she'd be okay. She had me, she, one time she was interested in what I'd look like without a beard, because that's just kind of my general look. I'm growing out like more now, but generally I have kind of like a thin beard. And I, I shaved that. She said, yeah, don't do that. Yeah, that's funny. Where it's just go, nope, don't do that. Like, I can't, I can't imagine, Sorensen with a beard. Yeah. I can't imagine Jake with long hair.

Oh, absolutely not. I've seen him scruffy with his beard, but I haven't seen a, I haven't seen any long hair. Like simple, either way, Bill Bush, not, not a beard guy. No, I haven't seen him with a beard. Farley gives and takes. Vijay gives and takes. Vijay kind of embraces the strength of his hair. Like there are some cultural things that, that your hair, the length of your hair,

the volume of your hair determines your your your your your strength in the universe right um because at some point character had had pretty good hair i don't know what his situation is now i've never seen steve taylor with more than the faith like he shaves it now yeah but i wanted to ask you too because steve steve when i mentioned that so you said earlier michael jordan kind of led the bald uh bald as beautiful like in and really just um became popular back in the 90s steve would you and I asked him about he said that Tupac led that night. You know, he grew up in California, so maybe it was, it might

just depend on your region. But I think Tupac or Michael Jordan led that more? Oh, this was absolutely Jordan. This was Jordan. Because you have to remember that Tupac passed away in 96.

Jordan had been doing it at least 92. I would think that if you go back into the videos, that yeah, there's a run where in the 90s. Google, when was the FAB 5, Michigan's FAP 5? Tupac was, but Tupac also had a fade. I mean, when he was in an art school, when he was in the art and media school in New York, he had a fade like a high fade.

He had good hair. Tupac had good hair. And then the West Coast, Steve would talk about the West Coast side of it was when he started wearing the bandana. So he just shaved it. And it's also when he got tattoos. Because he didn't, in the art school,

he didn't have tattoos like that. So, but he, I mean, one, head shape matters. Like, not everybody. Like head shape matters. When was the Fed five? 91 to 93. So that to me, when Weber,

Juan didn't, didn't shave his, but Jalen and Jimmy King, so in that space, that certainly played into it. Yeah. I would, let me see here.

Literally you can Google it. It says, so Michael George started shaving his head bald in the late 80s. And so he did it because of the hair line. Some sources says as early as 83. And then he said, Onyx and Tupac did their thing. So right around there, mine for me, it was there.

Rubber Duck poses a question. It says, if we hit a donation amount for teammates, would you do it? How could I say no to that? But Rubber Duck, what would the amount be? Like, what do you all think? What should it be? what would it be? Like I don't know what that, but yeah, donation to teammates, absolutely.

How many days, let it grow for a hundred days? 30 days, see what it looks like? Yeah, I think it depends. I mean, we got to get the, if it's growing well, we've got to get it to go to get it out there. Look at Joel, try, look at Joel. Look at Joel. It says, Tommy, Timmy V says, in honor of Hulk Hogan, rock the machining and let it, let the flow go.

Yeah, that would be a box thing. Let, you know, he could, he could do the bandana and the beard and let it move. Or they call that a skullet? Yeah, you know, let you let you do that. Some birthday requests. I'll read these because I do want to honor them. Earthquake glues says, happy birthday, TP. Appreciate what you do for the community.

I appreciate y'all for allowing me to do. do that. Craig says happy birthday D.P. Fred Nade Horiburg, my friend, thank you for the birthday wishes greatly appreciated. Sanderson, of course, my friend. Thank you for the birthday wishes. Yeah, 63 years old. Sixty-three years

young. Yeah, I mean, well, also Texas said he'll donate $10. Oh, we have a phone call. Okay. Bach, I'll let you lead the way. Bach, handle. All right, welcome on. It's a surprise guest. We'll put it that way. Welcome on to the here, surprise guess.

Hey, you wanted to go fly to Houston tonight to watch a baseball game? That's no, sir. That's hostile breezy. That's hostile breezy. Yeah, absolutely. Let's do it. We'll fly to Houston and watch a baseball game. Well, they just put a random chair on the foul line and just let it sit wherever we want

and just say, hey, I'm here with D.P. for his birthday. Let us sit wherever we want. Yeah. Or will they give a peace in the dugout? Well, in the old dusty days or in the old Carlos Correa, Alex Bergman days, we probably could have pulled that off. As a matter of fact, they had us surrounded by ball girls. But I'm not sure that the current regime loves me.

Although, although we do have a new end, we have an end. We have an end now because our own, our own Bryce Matthew, former Husker and former radio host here on the ticket, is now debuting for the Astros, hit two bombs in a game, eight RBI and six, six games. So we might have an end. We might. There you go.

We might, man. Appreciate you calling, man. It means, world. Thank you. Does Lincoln know it's your birthday? they're finding out now they're finding out now yes they are yes they are

for the long time listeners you need a call in or text in 402 464 56685 and wish DP a very special happy birthday brother thank you for all that you do who you are and for loving on me

and having your family love on me from top to bottom from parent to child the Tiberisi family is a very special family to me and a very group. As a matter of fact, I got a memory post of us holding the trophies in Woodson. That came up in my memories today. It was us sitting at the table with the nets that we cut down with the title and with the trophies on the table. I'll have to post those later.

Don't flame it on anyone's desk. Yeah, right, right? Right. Oh, my goodness. But thank you for adding to. And I really need for you and Bach to do a wrestling show together as well because We've done one. Yeah, we've got to do it again. We've been, yeah, we've, I've had Haas on before.

We've got to get them on again. Yeah, I mean, I think, I think those are different conversations. We'll get into it a little bit later in the, in the course of, of these two hours. But yeah, we'll have some, we'll have some, some, some, some, some wrestling talk today. So. Awesome. Give me the final update on your son's pull-ups. What was the final?

I know he was efforting to do 500 pull-ups in a day. What was the final number? So he did 500. We had to stop him. And then he was at 100 this morning when I left at 9-30. So he's aiming for another 500 today. Bro. That young man.

That young man is going to be spent. How old is he now? He's eight. And for the listeners, I have a background in motivating people. I'm working now. I'm a doctorate in sports psychology. And with that, the ability to communicate and get words to push someone to their best is typically there. However, nothing is as good as playing a rocky training montage to get you going to working out.

And when he was at 450, his arms were dead. that you just played the Rocky training montage. He sent the video, he sent the video of him just, I mean, this thing, with the Rocky music playing, that this eight-year-old young man. And, and, and, and, Haas, let him know what, what his, what his, what his, what his motivation was.

He wants a ultimate edition, Cody Rhodes, wrestling action figure, which is sold out, which is sold out. Uncle BT found one. Heck yeah. Listen, that kind of effort cannot go unrewarded. If you're going to work that hard, listen, I'm not sure there's, if you gave me Cody Rhodes himself, would I put together 500 pull-ups in the day?

If Cody Rose is going to walk in here and count them himself, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I mean, we get that pulled off. Bach, you think, what would it take to get you to do 500? to pull-ups in a day. I think it's pretty difficult to do five. I don't know. I need to lose a bunch of weights

so I can pull up my body weight again. Oh, man. That's so good. That's so good. Haas, love you, man. Appreciate you. Thank you for thinking of me today. Appreciate it, bro.

Love you too, brother. Everyone to know this is a holiday. This is the day to love. This is D. We appreciate you more than you appreciate us. He means so much to all of us. Oh, not possible, sir. Not possible.

Hosta breezy. You catch him Sunday noon on the breeze here on the ticket. We'll throw it to break more one-on-one when we come back. We're celebrating. Indeed, we are.
